hi all , apart from going to Jaguar does anyone know where I can get 2 x rear box brackets/hangers as both mine have broken. thanks in advance for any help.

    hi , just replaced drop links both sides , and there is a vast difference in the noises the car now makes , does not have that annoying rattle/clunk , but still got the creaking when hitting those stupid speed bumps which go all across the road. however really pleased with the outcome so far. :)

hi , that's great as long as I know , have just bought some drop links and will change them as a matter of course anyway , then will do ball joints if problem still persists .... thanks.

hi again , having watched the video regarding the bushing I was wondering 1. are the bushes the same size all over the suspension and.. as I have access to a lathe and can make them , I realise that rubber is used to quieten the road noise but , would it be a wrong move to make them solid say out of phosphor bronze or brass so they don't wear again.

cheers

neil.

hi jim , thanks for your reply , all have proved useful and come the weekend I will be getting the car up on stands and trying some of the things to try and get rid of the annoying little problems that drive me mad.once again cheers.

hi all , I have owned my s type for just under a year and whilst very happy with it , I do have a couple of issues which hopefully someone could help with.... 1. do the front of the headlamps come off easily to effect repair to the headlamp adjustment unit and 2 ... having replaced both front struts and springs I am still getting a knocking noise from under the car when going over bumpy roads , whilst I had the car in the air I checked all the other suspension parts for wear and movement and all seemed ok , they were all lubricated at the same time , so I am now at a loss ... thanks in advance for your help.
